The improvements to the Sony A9 II over the original A9 have been evolutionary rather than revolutionary - but all the same Sony says that there are no fewer than 43 improvements over the original model.
One of the improvements in the Sony A9 II is in the design of the body, and in particular its durability. We weren't aware of any durability issues in the original, but Sony has nevertheless beefed up the camera's weather sealing to cope with the harsh conditions it's likely to be used in.
Image sharpness is said to be improved thanks to a low vibration shutter design and improvements to the in-body stabilization, now rated at 5.5 stops.
The connectivity has been upgraded too, with a speed improvement from 100MB/s to 1GB/s Ethernet and 2.4/5GHz wireless LAN support, together with a USB 3.2 Gen. 1 port. Remote shooting gets a boost, with the ability to format a memory card remotely, for example, via Remote Camera Tool 2.1 software. It's also possible to attach voice memos to images, to give instructions to the picture desk back at base, for example.
Sony also says it's worked on the speed of the A9 II, with improvements to the BIONZ X image processor speed that improves viewfinder image latency, among other things. And, crucially, the new model an uprated mechanical shutter now capable of 10fps shooting compared to 5fps in the Mark I camera (the mechanical shutter is useful in certain artificial lighting conditions that can affect the electronic shutter).
As ever with a new Sony camera, the AF has been uprated and improved, now with Sony's Real-time AF tracking tech. It's now possible to change the focus frame color selection, and move the focus frame even with the shutter release or AF-ON button half pressed. You can use the touchscreen for Touch-Tracking now.
